Two DOS/Windows/90s games.

I'm looking for two Pixel/DOS/Windows games.

1) The icon were two swords, and it was a "strategy" game, all i remember is that it had a map, and tiles. and you could PLACE some kind of tiles named "City" "Farm" "Town" etc and that's all, I also remember roads but it had no action it seems. just .. you could place those tiles on the map.

2) a 90s game, could have beeen on console too. It was a platform game from the mid-late 90s, and all i remember is that the BG was very detailed and yeah, it were pipes, all kinds of pipes with dark and neon colored pipes and then a dark sky or something also, i'm not sure what more, then it was a 90s platformer and the background weere just all kinds of pipes and stuff. 157.157.202.10 (talk) 00:58, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's... Almost every game of those kinds. You're going to need more details. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since these are really two seperate requests, I've made two sub-sections so people can post their replies separately. --Bavi H (talk) 02:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1) A strategy game involving placing tiles on a map

Context for everyone: A very similar question was asked in 2013: Looking for a 90s PC game. If this is the same question, then everyone can review the responses there to get a feel for what wasn't the answer last time. Also, as I mentioned then, Windows provided some default icons, including one with two swords, that you could select when you make a shortcut to a DOS program (pifmgr.dll icons) . If this is the icon you remember, then the icon won't be much help identifying the game, since that icon was provided by Windows and not by the game itself. --Bavi H (talk) 02:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2) A platform game with pipes in the background

Context for everyone: A similar question was asked in 2012: Looking for a old arcade like video game! If this is the same question, then everyone can review the responses there to get a feel for what wasn't the answer last time. --Bavi H (talk) 02:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How come there is no article about this song on Wikipedia? Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6c6b9TDD6c. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.17.203 (talk) 04:14, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As Colin Fine wrote last year in this thread:

The answer to the question "Why isn't there an article on X" is usually one or both of the following:

Because X is not notable by Wikipedia's special criteria (i.e. X hasn't been written about in reliable sources, independent of X); or
Because nobody has written one.

Does criminal rating in GTA San Andreas affect the gameplay in any way?

Or it's just for decoration and navel-gazing (in PC version)?--93.174.25.12 (talk) 17:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC) @93.174.25.12:cosmetics, bragging rights[reply]
